Cope vid and dead Xbox  
WTF?? What's wrong with my Nicholas Cage "I'm Me!" icon?
is NOT the icon I had uploaded if you guys can even see it now since I'm going to delete it and RE-UPLOAD. This is the second time LJ has lost one of my icons, but it has never totally replaced it. That's NOT my icon!
THIS is my icon. Welcome back Castor Troy. Hum, the fact it didn't become an X after I deleted it isn't good. That means any icon you upload stays in LJ's server. I don't like that either.

Anyway, I have done it!! I have made a video and put it up on youtube of Cope on his flying Motorcycle. Everyone please watch and let me know what you think.



I LOVE seeing him in the cinemas. He looks so much like my art it's amazing. He even looks great for in game graphics. I timed the action very well to the music. The song is Touch The Sky by Meduza and is a song I've always associated with Cope since he love to fly and has flying vehicles. Lyrics are here. I did something very difficult by reaching the top of the Ultor building from the front. You can even see the big ULTOR letters. There's a point where I had a one star wanted level because I accidentally ran over a pedestrian in front of a cop. The cop chased me and you'll see me get shot three times. If you look below you'll see the cop chasing me on foot up to the wall. But I got away because I went up the wall. The footage is so pretty it's too bad youtube ate the quality of the original video. But it's not just the Ultor building I climbed. I picked another near by tower to go up. And I used three different bikes. The Kaneda which has the neons on it and a red and green Kenshin. The red Kenshin is my fave because it looks just like Cope's bike. BTW, if anyone wants to see this in good quality, let me know and I can AIM it to you or put it up on sendspace.

Well despite all this I'm now depressed. You guys know I never get depressed. Once in a blue moon. Well I had all these ideas to try and record for Saints Row with Cope and the Xbox got a red ring. It's broken. Being the nerd that I am I am officially down now.

I printed some of the Christmas Cards today. They look very good. I just have to cut them and make the envelopes then I can send them out.

Well at least I got some footage of the UFO in SR2. I'll make a short not so great vid just to show you guys. Gosh it's already December. My calendar is almost over. It wish I could have made one for 2009.

EDIT: Man I keep forgetting stuff. I'm at the point where I've posted almost all the parts I've writen for my story. So I may not be posting on schedule until I catch up with the writing part again. The next part I put up is a deep one and the one I was so excited about when I wrote.

EDIT:EDIT: Ok hopefully I haven't forgotten anything else. This is my newest icon, apart from the Castor Troy one. This is Cope on the Billboards in the game giving two thumbs up.

What do you think? I had to use the UFO to get that close and it still doesn't look as nice as when you look through the sniper scope. I like it but not sure if it's that visible for this. He's so flat too.

Yeah, LJ has been playing around with one or two of my icons as well. I guess the only thing we can do is re-upload the pictures and hope it stays.

Great video! I like the camera angles on Cope. It feels like you're watching a movie.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about the evil red ring O' DOOM. :( I have been highly disinterested in my PS2 the past few months but I have a feeling my gaming will start up again when I purchase a new next-gen system. Or I'll just get highly frustrated with the games and use my nex-gen as a DVD Blu-Ray player. :p

So it's not just my account. I would say good but it's not. It's just annoying foreveryone.

Thank you! Yeah I thought those scenes were so neat that I had to put them in. I've watched that video so many times now hee hee.

We called Microsoft today. They're going to replace our Xbox for free. YEAY!! But it will probably be two weeks since we have to wait for the box mail it off then they mail the new one back. So that part sucks. Despite our bad luck of the new systems I highly recommend the Xbox and I'd say stear totally clear of the Wii.

Im amazed that you can do that kind of thing with your avatar. I wish my game (WoW) will give me that opportunity. =)

You can't make screen captures on your game? I'm not a big computer gamer. I've only played like three games and all of them allowed me to do screen captures. Spore allowed me to make movies even. I'm sure there has to be a way. Perhaps find a way to make the output of your monitor go into a stand alone DVD recorder.

This is so weird. The icon you have up there on my screen is some girl kind of pouting. Very weird. I've heard other people complaining about the icon issues though so at least it's not just you. Sounds like the hamster fell off the treadmill at LJ headquarters again. Also, that sucks about your Xbox. :(

I got a kick out of your video. The ending footage was the best, along with his little goodbye bow at the end. The thumbs up icon is cool. I like his expression.

Really?? It doesn't say "Be Daring"? On my end that's what it says and it's two guys. What is LJ doing? May-be they've been hacked. Haha, I laughed at your hamster statement though.
The xbox situation hurts still.

Thanks. It was so fun to make. I wanted him to take a bow for doing such a good job. It's not his voice but I've so gotten used to his accent. hehe.

Heehee I love when he says "And good day to you" at the end. Nice video.
I haven't had any of my icons disappear yet thank goodness.
I look forward to the next part of your story!

Yes me too. I had to stick that at the end. He had a right to take a bow after all that amazing stuff he did.
That's good. I hope you don't.
I may put the next part up tonight.
